Writer's Strike... have we seen the last of it?

I hadn't really updated myself with this issue, but I'm glad that it's over.
Not just because I'm anxious to see the developments of my favorite series,
but TV also does generate income for the people who work in this industry.

A Must-have for Sleepyheads

Take your pick from a range of alarm clocks that would either give you a workout or tick you right off. No pun intended. =3

 

The 10 Most Annoying Alarm Clocks #10 - Climbing clock . It hangs above your head and starts climbing while it rings. Don't wake up fast enough, and you won't be able to shut it up without a ladder .   # 9 Wake Up Puzzle . You have to build the puzzle to make it stop   # 8 Wake or Curse . You can ask it what the time is and it will answer. But if you don't wake up quickly enough it will curse you.   # 7 High Tech . This one has a vibrator, 95 db alarm and police style rotating light that you cannot ignore.   # 6 Find The Pin - You need find the right pin to stop it's ringing. Not going to stay sleepy after this mission.     # 5 Chicken and Egg Problem - The egg laying alarm clock. It will only quiet down after you put all the eggs back.   # 4 GI Joe .

Our office with a view

I wish I wouldn’t forget bringing my dad’s SLR to take pictures of the view outside the office. These were taken from a phone camera. Not bad, but I’m sure an SLR will give the views more justice. Hey, I’m old school when it comes to pictures.

 

  

 

 

Blingify your Miata!

On my way home in my sojourn at SM Megamall, I saw an exhibit by NextBase, showcasing their merchandise installed on what I knew to be a Miata. They took out the decals that would identify it with Mazda. Good thing the guy there didn’t mind me taking pictures. =) I loooove the candy-color paint job, and well, it’s a Miata!

Whoa...

I’ve just set an all-time record in the most number of days I’ve stayed in the office. I’ve been here since Thursday since there was a team’s day out on Friday. I was torn between going and having a good time and save myself from further burnout. So the second option won. =P

 

 

 

 

So, now I pay the price of making sure I meet the target. Not much regrets, though, as you can see. I still plan to hit the arcades and work on my uphill on Myougi.
